Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Sodexo.
Supervisor
First, you'll have a phone chat with a manager or supervisor. If that goes well, you'll move on to a one-on-one with the hiring manager. If they like you after that interview, you'll get an offer.
- Can you define teamwork?
Operations Manager
There were 3 screening interviews by phone, and I was given a timeline to move forward, and then NOTHING! The hiring manager wouldn't even return a phone call and I still haven't been notified that the position is filled. The competency screener sounded like a robot, which was very unsettling. I don't like being left hanging. If you get into this process with Sodexo, stay calm during the screenings and carefully think through your answers. The competency screening is horrible.
- How would you manage a situation where two employees dislike each other and are unable to work together?
Operations Manager
It's a 3 step process. First a recruiter screens you, then you have a phone interview with the district manager, and finally a client interview. The recruiter checks for basic experience. The phone interview is about 45 minutes and includes behavioral questions like 'tell me about a time'. The client interview is less predictable because every client is different. Knowing the company's mission, vision, and values is really helpful.
- Can you describe a situation where you had to get approval for a budget you designed? What data did you use to support it?
